Ring Bologna, Any Egg Cook Ideas?

dbCooperdbCooper Posts: 1,642
Uncovered this digging a couple steaks out of the freezer.  Typically we'd slow simmer on the stovetop with sauerkraut.
Giving thought a indirect smoke on the Egg.  Thoughts on this?  Note the casing is some thick red thing, not a regular sausage/brat type casing.

    If you want to keep it on the egg, maybe some grilled lowcountry boil. The sliced up bologna, corn on the cob, potatoes and shrimp. Or possibly some jambalaya. I think @nolaegghead just posted a recipe.

    I think you could copy paste this into just about any thread and be right.

    Probably. I do think fried bologna is special though.

    I would take the casing off if it’s not edible and then smoke for a good long time indirect and eat it with pimento cheese on a cracker or make a grilled cheese sandwich.

    I like @Jstroke ‘s idea, especially if the casing isn’t edible. “Put it on a cracka, dude.”

    It’s not bad raw either. Cracker, mustard, hot sauce, etc

    If deep frying is wrong… I don’t want to be right.

    I have sous-vided (is that a word?) them in the original wrapper.  Gets some of the fat to render without drying it out.

    I de-cased one and grilled it.  I did it hot and fast, and it was ok, but not great. If you heat it enough to get the fat to soften up, you lose all the water.  That non-edible casing holds the water in.  Once the water is out, they get dry and crumbly pretty fast.  At least the one I grilled did.

    Good luck!

    @fishlessman - Thank you.
    Edit to add: I was not aware canned bread was a thing.  If I ever come across it will give it a try.

    You can look it up. B&M is the manufacturer, and they are a NE baked bean company. It is about the same density as pound cake or maybe denser and has a molasses background with raisins. Excellent stuff.

    I thought I had  pictures, I must have deleted them. 
    I remove the casing and cut,slice from the top the full length. about a 1/3 down.Then slice perpendicular about 1/2 thick about 2/3 down.
    Season with rub. Smoke 275 deg. or so. 
    I use a 1/2 moon stone underneath.
    I put bbq sauce on the last 15 minutes or so.
